They’re at it again! “The Adventures of KaLeigh Mae & Braxtin” series by California author Bonnie Black has grown by two new books (and two new adventures!) since the first in the series, The Lost Locket, was released last year. I’ve enjoyed illustrating these captivating chapter mystery books for children.

In Summer Camp, friends KaLeigh Mae and Braxtin are off to tour the Big Apple and then fun at summer camp in the Poconos, only to get mixed up in a high-stakes bank robbery. In the latest book, The Wedding Cake, the two young heroines find themselves in another alarming predicament centered around the signature confection at KaLeigh Mae’s father’s wedding to her new mother.

I created the pen-and-ink illustrations for these books starting with pencil sketches, then using a Speedball Hunt Globe dip pen and India Ink on Bristol board. The cover illustration I colored using watercolor pencils.

Look for these books on Amazon.com and other online booksellers or order them through your local bookstore.
